Description

This one-bedroom garden flat, nestled within an attractive blonde sandstone townhouse, presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors seeking to capitalize on its potential. Located in the heart of Dowanhill in Glasgow's desirable West End, this property is brimming with character but requires extensive modernization. The flat features a spacious living room characterized by high ceilings and French doors that lead directly to a private, mature garden—a rare find in this area. This outdoor space enhances the property's appeal and offers an inviting setting for relaxation or entertaining guests. The main door access from the rear adds convenience as well. The kitchen awaits a complete overhaul but offers a versatile layout with a hatch opening into the lounge, allowing for creative reconfiguration and flow between spaces. The bedroom is generously sized and includes both a walk-in cupboard and an ensuite bathroom, along with an additional separate WC conveniently located off the inner hall. With exclusive access to the garden, residents can enjoy a peaceful retreat right outside their door. The property is situated just off Hyndland Road, providing easy access to the vibrant amenities of the West End, including cafes, shops, restaurants, and public transport links. Nearby attractions such as Byres Road, Glasgow Botanic Gardens, and Kelvingrove Park offer both urban convenience and green spaces for outdoor activities. This flat requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout but has significant investment potential given its location and structure. While it is expected to be suitable for mortgage lending, it will be sold as-is, making it ideal for buyers ready to bring their vision to life in this sought-after community.
